Reception and Transmission of Authoritative Literature in the Graeco-Roman World in light of Papyrology

Program Unit Type: AffiliateAccepting Papers?Yes

Call For Papers:Papyrus witnesses of authoritative texts are of key importance because of their old age. They allow for the study of the dissemination of ancient authoritative literatures and the reconstruction of their early textual and translation histories. Furthermore, papyrological research illuminates the material culture of the transmission of authoritative texts in antiquity. In addition to invited papers, this program unit welcomes submissions which highlight material culture, textual and translation histories, as well as dissemination studies of ancient authoritative literatures.
